Targeting multi-drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii: a structure-based approach to identify the promising lead candidates against glutamate racemase.

Context: Acinetobacter baumannii, one of the critical ESKAPE pathogens, is a highly resilient, multi-drug-resistant, Gramnegative, rod-shaped, highly pathogenic bacteria. It is responsible for almost 1-2% of all hospital-borne infections in immunocompromised patients and causes community outbreaks. Because of its resilience and MDR characteristics, looking for new strategies to check the infections related to this pathogen becomes paramount.

Energy Efficient Management of Pipelines in Buildings Using Linear Wireless Sensor Networks.

The efficient and safe management of air conditioner (AC), Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and water pipelines in large buildings is a major challenge for the safety of these buildings. In recent years, Linear Wireless Sensor Networks (LWSN) are being used extensively for monitoring of long natural gas, water, and oil pipelines. LWSNs can also be used for efficient and safe management of AC, PNG and water pipelines in large buildings.
